Judgment axis | detail |
| Item Identity | The lima bean is a legume whose seeds, derived from Phaseolus lunatus of the legume family, are used for food. |
| Core separation | It distinguishes between unripe pods, unripe seeds, mature dried seeds, whole kernels, shelled, split, frozen, canned, and powdered products. |
| Differences from similar items | Cowpeas belong to the genus Vigna, while kidney beans are separate species within the same genus Phaseolus. They do not share standards for raw materials, cooking, or processing. |
| Main uses | It is raw material for salads, soups, stews, braised dishes, side dishes, HMR, frozen vegetables, canned goods, powders, and small-package PB products. |
| Purchase criteria | The seeds are seed size, color, grain size, moisture content, breakage, foreign matter, pests, soaking and boiling properties, shape retention, safety, and processing history. |
| Key Risk | The issues include the mixing of unripe products and dried seeds, the absence of standards for large and small grains, color, and product shape, long-term storage, pests, and the omission of verification regarding proper pretreatment and heating. |
| Operational direction | Connects variety groups, harvest stages, lot history, cooking and processing trials, RFQs, claims, and repurchases. |

Lima beans are legumes of a different genus from No. 024 cowpeas, and although they belong to the same genus Phaseolus as kidney beans, they are distinct species. In particular, green, frozen, and canned lima bean products are not integrated into a single standard because they differ from dried seeds in terms of harvest time, pretreatment, storage, distribution, and cooking methods.
